Welcome to the second generation of Puppy Derivatives!
You have released a derivative based on a Puppy version made from the latest Woof2, that means non-English speakers will be able to use your derivative thanks to the official language packs available for Puppy, which at the moment are: French, German, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. Here you can read some documentation on how translations are made. Usually translators know how to adapt the langpacks for compatibility with Woof2 Puppy derivatives, but you can also help by telling what files or programs need translations._________________OB Precise 15.01 kernel 3.17.7|Puppy Linux en español

Just 2 problems. The first one is already solved :
With Opera, I've problems with youtube.
Well, this isn't important. I've dowloaded firefox, and add a add on I like.
It should be better the to remove opera, but may be it isn't possible...

But with the second problem, I can't find how to do to solve it :

On toutou linux (french puppy version) or on Lucid Puppy, I can install amsn (an old version, but which works fine, is on a toutou linux repository).
But amsn cannot be found in the Precise NOP 542 repositories

And for some reasons, they are some usefuls things just like amsn or skype which are not on the ubuntu repositories, but they are on the "medibuntu" repository and it's very easy, with ubuntu, to add the "medibuntu" repository, opening a shell terminal.
But with Precise NOP 542, sudo apt-get don't work and I don't know what to write.
Somebody can help me ?
Thank you

Precise NOP 5.4.3 is the best, and gray has so far successfully kept up with the best of Precise Puppy.

I guess he will keep an eye on 5.5 developments, avoiding bloat and keeping the essential benefits of Xfce.

BTW I tried Precise-5.5 (actually 5.4.9 alpha) on my regular PreciseNop save file and it upgraded easily, with everything (I think), including LibreOffice working, except that the menus and desktop were all different and it wouldn't shut down. I wouldn't go through that again without a very good reason. But in future some improvements might be gleaned from it.

At present I see nothing with PreciseNop-5.4.3.

This must be one of the slickest upgrades yet. I simply upgraded my current precisesave file. A quick first look seems to indicate most everything works as before.

Thanks here also, grey,

Smooth as butter frugal install to my rather ancient athlon box with a stinky nvidia video card. Gave away my only PAE laptop so I can't test on my laptops for suspend etc. The ONLY thing I haven't got working is transparency of the panel. Compositor on and working but setting alpha for full transparency for the panel gives a black background, not the wallpaper. Lina with xfce4.10 on this machine gives correct transparency for the panel. Should be pretty much apples to apples. If you have the compositor on, can you get a transparent panel? It's great to have a current precise wrapped lovingly in Xfce/thunar/opera!_________________Pups currently in kennel X-slacko 2.3.2n and 3b6, LxpupTahr 15.02 non-PAE, and trusty Carolina/Carolite (now battleshooters 1.3-vanguard edition R2). All lean and steady pups. Oh, and Lx flavours of unicornpup for fun

I have used a series of Nops from the beginning, and have tried all the Nops to make sure I was using the best at any given time. In more recent years I have used serially QuirkyNop, RacyNop, and PreciseNop in my mission-critical business computing. See http://www.henrystrobel.com/linux.htm These of course have all been heavily reconfigured for my own use.

Of these QuirkyNop was very good. RacyNop 5.2.2 had bugs (from the Racy component, described previously) and mostly eventually fixed in ozsouth's excellent hybrid, RacyNop-5.3.2. PreciseNop-5.4.3 finally emerged as the best, the leader of the pack. Interesting is cthisbear's video on the parent Precise-5.4.3 where nearly every word is "best" or "amazing." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUhO76RihP8

Barry is now onto Precise-5.5, and we can hope that gray will eventually adopt improvements from that. I can hardly imagine what they might be - except perhaps in the package manager.

I'm trying to get a drive to automount at boot but as soon as an entry is put into fstab, the drive disappears from thunar. I'm not sure if this is a precise issue or an xfce one. Any help is much appreciated.

And just so you know, a few packages such as opera and pudd don't have an entry in root/.packages/builtin_files so they have to be manually removed._________________X-slacko-3b7 with Xfce-4.12.0 - X-slacko-2.3.2 - X-precise-2.4

Fixed with a startup script, mount -a worked and put the entry in mstab.

I did a remaster and none of the user installed package entries were put into builtin_files. Also, all of the removed packages were added back to builtin_files. Had to sort it out manually, sounds like a dodgy remaster script._________________X-slacko-3b7 with Xfce-4.12.0 - X-slacko-2.3.2 - X-precise-2.4
